Which is more important in recruitment, soft skills or hard skills?

Soft skills cannot be taught. Attitudes are acquired by a growing child from his or her environment. If parents scream at each other, then the child will also scream at his schoolmates and teachers. I hire on attitudes and train on aptitudes. Some large whose income depends on the government must abide by the DEI policy. Their hiring practices are very different from the small to midsize companies that need to make a profit the old-fashioned way.
